UNITED STATES ALBERT GEORGE HARRINGTON, OF BIRMINGHAM, MICHIGAN.

COMBINED PAIL AND STAND.

Application filed July 11, 1922.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT GEORGE HAR- RINGTON, an alien, holding firstpapers of the United States, and a resident of Birmingham, in the countyof Oakland and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Combined Pails and Stands, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to a combined pail and stand.

In washing windows, paper hanging or any other labor where a pail isused and it is necessary for the worker to frequently stoop for dippinghis brush, sponge or the like into the contents of the pail the workbecomes exceptionally tiresome. With this in view it is the object ofthe invention to provide a combined pail and stand whereby the pail'maybe quickly elevated and so held whenever the user may wish and thuseliminate the stooping above referred to.

It is also an object of the invention that the stand associated with thepail be adapted to support the pail in a lowered-position.

It is a further object of the invention that the stand be adapted forcarrying about the pail when filled with aliquid or the like.

Other objects and objects relating to details of construction,combination and arrangement of parts will hereinafter appear in thedetailed description to follow.

' The invention is illustrated by way of example in the accompanyingdrawings, in which,

Figure 1 is a perspective view showing a paper hanger at work andlikewise, a combination pail and stand of the present in-' vention withthe pail elevated for the convenience of the worker.

Figure 2 is a side elevation of the pail and stand, the pail beingelevated and the lower portion of the stand being shown in section toillustrate the construction thereof. Figure 3 is a transverse sectional,view of the stand taken substantially on the line 3-3 of Figure 2.

Figure 4 is a detailed elevation illustratpail is held in its elevatedposition by the stand.

Referring to the drawings more particularly S indicates generally thestand and P Serial N0. 574,216.

the pail. The stand S more specifically comprises a plurality of legs10, an upper ring 11 and a-lower ring 12. The upper ring 11- is securedto the upper ends of the legs 10 and thus holding them in circularformation, while the lower ring 12 is secured in the same manner butslightly above the lower ends of the legs 10. The legs 10 terminate atthe lower ends in outwardly curved portions 15 which are adapted to formfeet for the stand, and each pair of opposing feet are connected by abrace 14. The pail P is cylindrical in shape and provided with aplurality of grooves 15 which extend longitudinally thereof and arepreferably two in number, said rooves being adapted for receiving the ens of studs 16 projecting from legs 10. The grooves 15 are preferablydiametrically opposed and likewise the studs 16. The studs 16 arepositioned adjacent the u per ends of the legs 10 and upon the pail Ibeing lifted above these studs and then turned to the position shown inFigure 2, the said studs will support the pail in what may be termed itselevated position.

The upper ring 11 is provided with a pair of ears 17 to which may beconnected a bail 18 whereby the stand S together with the pail may becarried about. Also the pail P is provided at its upper end with a pairof rings 19 to facilitate the lifting and lowering thereof.

In Figure 1 there is shown a pair of carpenters horses upon which thereis spread a sheet of wall paper generally indicated by the referencenumeral 21 Also there is shown a man spreading paste upon the paper. Inthis instance the pail P is elevated so that the man does not need tostoop when wetting his brush. The purpose of contents of a pail.

What I claim is: In combination, a pail having a plurality of grooves orchannels formed lon 'tudinally thereof and in its outer su ace, a standcomprising a frame, open at its upper end and adapted to telescopicallyreceive the pail, cross members adjacent the bottom of the frame adaptedto support the pail, studs carried by said frame one for each of thegrooves, said studs being adapted to permit free upward and downwardmovement of the pail and when said pail is moved upwardly and above saidstuds and rotated to bring the same out of alignment with the grooves,said studs being adapted to engage 10 the bottom of the pail and supportthe same in an elevated position and Within the frame.

ALBERT GEORGE HARRINGTON.
